Discover the home of the world's most beloved red-haired girl - Prince Edward Island.
Anne of Green Gables. The home of Canadian Confederation. The mighty Confederation Bridge.
Besides visiting these famous sites, you'll find many other exciting things to do when you visit PEI. Imagine catching and cooking your own lobster, boasting to your friends that you actually ate a piece of seaweed pie, and tonging for oysters (we know you're curious about just what that is).
Also check out the beaches, cycling and golf.
